1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundAsymptomatic blood pressure (BP) elevation may be associated with cerebral hemorrhage (CH); however, few studies have investigated this association. We aimed to evaluate BP elevation before CH in hemodialysis (HD) patients and elucidate its associated factors.

methodsWe reviewed HD patients treated for CH at our hospital between 2008 and 2019 (CH group). The control group comprised HD patients treated at Nagasaki Renal Center between 2011 and 2012. Data were obtained from medical records and three consecutive HD charts, made immediately before CH. HD1 was the session closest to onset, followed by HD2 and HD3. Systolic and mean BP were evaluated at the beginning of HD, and factors associated with BP elevation were investigated.

resultsThe CH and control groups included 105 and 339 patients, respectively. Systolic and mean BP at HD1 were significantly higher than those at baseline (HD2 + HD3) in the CH group by 5 and 3 mmHg, respectively (P < 0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that lower calcium levels were significantly associated with BP elevation in the CH group (P < 0.05). The CH group was sub-divided by June 2013; the latter group had lower calcium levels (9.2 mg/dL) and a marked systolic BP difference from baseline (+ 10 mmHg) compared with the former (9.5 mg/dL and - 4 mmHg).

conclusionAsymptomatic BP elevation was observed in HD patients before CH; this elevation was associated with lower serum calcium levels and observed more frequently in the recent era. The precise mechanism underlying this effect remains unknown.
